When life gives you lemons, make Foolishness!(ade.)

And if you can, please help out Merbear.===========================>>>

Is there a spring in your step? Did you spring out of bed today? did you remember to flip the mattress? All this and more is on my mind this week, because spring has sprung! But what’s the “and more”? Why, the blogs I’ve read. Here’s some of what I saw… Wholey Jean had some great tips for being a role model to your inner child. Not A Punk Rocker wrote about how some Suicides Are Viewed, and Sean Smithson posted gratuitous selfies to promote his Book (with possibly the funniest dickhead pic ever).

Thank you all, and everyone else for the thoughtful and entertaining posts this week!

And thanks so much to The Sailor’s Woman for bestowing a Liebster Award on me! (Though her chihuahua may have made her do it.)
I hope you all take a minute to check out her great site!

When will it end? WHEN???

Last week, we celebrated what we hoped was the last hurrah of winter by asking what you’ll miss most about it.
Based on your comments, I don’t think many of you wanted to make winter feel welcome. Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are slowly thawing in italics.)

Congratulations to Stacy for this weeks winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most popular was Watching the door hit its ass on its way out. So congratulations to all you violent portal users out there! (A close second was being made fun of by Canada, so I think some people need to work on their politeness. I’m looking at you, British Columbia.)

I bet he could melt some butter.But I don’t want to know about his nooks or crannies.

This week, I’m intrigued by breakfast food. The bread in fact. English muffins, to be precise. (It’s the foolishness. It’s not supposed to make sense.) I’d like to know what you think those nooks and crannies are, so that’s what I’m asking. Offer as many scrumptious thoughts as you like, but offer them by Tuesday, 25 March at 2359 EDT, because that’s when this one ends.Try and keep yourself to three Other answers if you do write-ins, and if you do leave an Other, add a way to recognize you at the end, and I’ll link back to you next week.

Take Our Poll
And so, until the foolishness brings us together again, please enjoy The Great Flydini.
Have a great week everyone!

Winter? What’s that? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Any memory of such an event has been permanently replaced with thoughts of sunshine, warmth, bees, dead worms on my driveway, more bees, sneezing, pastels, easter eggs and pale arms and legs wanting to peek out from hiding. Congrats to Stacy!

LOVE today’s song – I think I may have seen them last year at the Warped Tour. Fun, high-energy music!

Can I just say again that NAPR’s FP’d post is ridiculously great? I wanted to do a pingback in the comment section, but alas, I probably have to mess with the dashboard to do so, and I haven’t had enough coffeh (TD) yet…

OMG…Laughing my butt off. I reached for those English muffins the other day and it felt so wrong to pay for something that advertises their “nooks and crannies.” It makes me wiggly and uncomfortable and I will deny that we ever had this conversation. Now…I’m off to put some butter and jelly in the crannies–all of this talk has me craving breakfast.
Happy Friday!

The bottom field of the poll is “Other”. type in your answer, then add Zoe or something if you want me to link back. There’s about a 250 character limit, but you can add more than one answer. Just use a a, 2, 3 kind of thing so I can put them together.
You can also leave an answer in then comments, just let me know in the comment so I can add it to next week.

Well this morning, on my 6ft ten inch board I rode some awesome 4-6 ft waves and then drove home on the left side of the road and then went and had an espresso and croissant (safer than biscuits or muffins) a few meters away from my house. And it was about 18 degrees Celsius. Are you confused yet? Or just envious.

My old Boyfriend, Erik, was a huge Steve Martin fan. So I saw SM a zillion times during that period. He is a very funny guy. Funny thing is, though, that I often thought of Steve Martin when I lived overseas: He had a routine about how, when you go to France, the first thing you put on is a French accent: “I vould lak to go to zee ‘otel.” It was hilarious (only I cannot find it on YouTube.

The thing is, that is EXACTLY what you do when you go. All nouns are the same, more or less. The verbs are different, but you can mumble and fake those. “Those French have a different word for everything…” I spent years thinking about how

I want to go check out Smithson. We’ve become reacquainted and it looks like he has a book out. I had no idea. I missed his last post. Guapo, I’ve been a little out of sorts with the Twitter, missing posts. Oh, how do you keep up? Enjoy your weekend! Hope it’s sunny and nice and springy!

Ah yes! I’ve been meaning to make it by here to celebrate the arrival of Spring. It seems like forever ago that you started your countdown… but I’m a bit confused as to why it’s still ass-chapping cold outside? Who’s idea was this?
